The night of August 1st is the Rochester Astronomy Club's 1st annual StarBQ, down by the
IA border near Spring Grove. We're grilling out starting around 6pm and soem of us will
be camping there through the night to observe. It's BYO beverage & meat, and we'll
provide all the fixings. We're planning on making it a two night event, weather permitting.

So...I hope you all can make it to that! The rain date is August 29/30th.

Nicole, I can't seem to find a map on the RAC website. Help? By the way, the talk in the RAC events forum is for the last weekend in June. It's for sure August 1?
